Why are you replying to a 22 year old post?

Hey folks, The new trailer just dropped for the third Dune movie. Looks pretty...well fantastic. How you feeling about it

I haven't yet, I'm listening to the series on audio book, I'm a little bit half way through book three.

Hey folks, For the first time in decades there is general ground war in Europe, and a massive one at that. What are your thoughts on the current conflict in Eastern Europe?

Well, the conclusion of the series happened a few months ago. I was pretty happy with how it ended, but it did seem to leave enough open to have a season or two for last couple books. I'm currently rocking the second audio book and it's really well done.

Hey folks, I just got a new desktop for the first time in a few years so I'll try to be on more often. Things are still going alright for me, I'm still somehow an elected official for a medium sized city of about 55K and oversee a budget of about 95 million dollars. Working as a nurse and going to school full time as well, and my daughter is 7 and wicked smaht. I'm also on standby for refugee assistance in Eastern Europe to help with the Ukrainian situation and may be headed to Romania/Moldova for aid. We meeting for drinks right Edric O?

This is exciting stuff! It's been decades since the last dune RTS. I'm pumped.

I watched it last night. It lacked a lot of the subtle nuances of the book, but it was entertaining. The Lynch version was a confusion riddled mess that was a bad movie(I still love it) when the Mini series had the ability to tell significantly more due to its time allowance. The cinematography in this was great. I'm quite pleased.

Moving into 2021 (well nearly half way through) We continue to see the lingering impacts of a waning Covid 19 wave (I say that since we are looking at other spikes in the Delta Varient nationwide) Supply chain issues are also continuing to dominate local manufacturing issues here in Northern Indiana. While we have some relief (lumber is already falling) we're still beset by things like chip shortages. Locally our unemployment level is under 4%. Which has led to a massive increase in demand for workers. And definitely shifted the power back to labor. Local companies have had to raise wages to compete and most have a minimum of 15 dollars an hour. Politically we're also looking to raise the minimum wage allowed for companies asking for a tax abatement up to 17 dollars or more. Biden has done okay. Honestly surprisingly effective with how the senate is currently. The child tax credit ($250-300) a month for six month for every kid in the US is a game changer that could reduce child poverty by millions. But we're s faced with looming environmental, police, and voting rights issues in the states.

Hey folks, I'm a fan of the horror podcast last podcast on the left. They did a spin off series talking about the Dune series. It's pretty comical, and a good listen. Hope you enjoy. https://www.lastpodcastnetwork.com/dune

Big back and forth on If it will be released in HBO max at all. Or just theaters. Personally I don't care either way, we got a big budget dune movie

Hey Folks, Is anyone else here a fan of the Expanse? It's currently on Amazon Prime and heading into its last season (season six). I really enjoy it, the political aspects of it between the three factions (Earth, Mars and the Belt), the action side, and the unknown aspect of the protomolucle. It's always a book series that is quite an entertaining read as well (on book two my self). Anyone else a fan?

Oh hey folks. Since the last post i've been elected to city council (still running for state house). Yeah, lil ol exatreides is now in government. Hows the turns have tabled!

Oh boy oh boy oh boy! Boys do we have worm sign! I ain't gonna lie, I was worried. I'm still worried it may suck. But come on! We have something to look forward to this year! In DUNE! and It's not a terrible spin off novella or something. Wooohoo!

So, I'm terribly bored so I figured I'd jump on the ol Dune2k for an update on my life, since I am as we all know, the center of the two known universes. I spent two weeks in Shiprock new mexico working as a triage covid nurse for the Navajo reservation, this was all volunteer (with expenses paid). We were nearly always busy, and the Navajo nation continues to be one of the hardest hit areas in the country. Back home, I quarantined for a couple weeks and continued my Don Quixote like statehouse run. We had the primary here in Indiana, and while my GOP opponent went from 8,000 votes in 2016 to 5,001 now. The dem went had 2,965 votes in 2016, and I had 2,947. So, while GOP enthusaism was down, Dem's wasn't really up. Still though, the race goes on, and our website is up. www.mishlerforindiana.com Other than that, continue to do nursing telehealth visits, and offer what support I can to local health and advocacy organizations.
